From the minute sin entered into the world it came with a huge price…death! Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. That gift is free to you and me, but Jesus had to come and pay for that gift with His life. Hebrews 9:22 tells us that without shedding of blood there is no remission. In the Old Testament people had to kill a sacrificial animal in order to get atonement, and this is just the foreshadowing of what’s to come when Jesus made the perfect sacrifice to cover our sins once and for all for all those that believe in Him as their Lord and Savior. So the thing I want you guys to understand is sin is a really big deal. It has eternal consequences. We can never hide anything from God and everything always comes to light. There are a million stories in the Bible showing you that very thing. Adam and Eve are kicked out of the garden for disobedience and the sin that they committed. Cain killed his brother and was marked and cursed for the rest of his days. I think something we need to keep in mind is none of us are perfect and we all fail, but that’s why it is so important to be in a relationship with Jesus. He changes us and leads us in a whole new life. Before we make decisions we should always look to the Father and align ourselves with His will. Ask Him what’s best and also be okay with the answer. Sin has eternal consequences, so get right with God today and invite Jesus into your life and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
